James M.<p>🧵</p><p>The world needs a secure, open source alternative to Facebook private posting (i.e. to friends only), but nothing on the fediverse really fills the need today, alas. At the Fediforum in June, I gave a short presentation on FriendSafe, a social media system I've written that supports private posting. It's a proof of concept that works today, but it would need major UX work and a security review before it's really ready for widespread use. It has a few other features I haven't seen in other social media yet, and which I'd love to see added to other projects.</p><p>In this thread is that 10-slide presentation, one slide per post. The text in the slides is the same as the text in the posts. The presentation is focused on FriendSafe, but I'm also just trying to get these ideas out there.</p><p>Let's start a conversation. Specifically, how can we move forward to get secure private posting ASAP, with full mobile support, etc.? I think this is critical to let people exit FB.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fediforum</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediforum</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>

I disagree that this is what "the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> tells itself". Maybe some ⁂-individuals do. However, I only need to think about the recent <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FediForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediForum</span></a> to recall so many, and much more inspiring narratives on the potential of federated socials. Not only *growth potential* by the way; there is are great values without growth too.</p>
